NAK Character
This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the NAK
character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or
host commands conflicts with normal operation of these char-
acters. 8-bit data is not recogn
ized when the option
Data Bits
has been set as 7 Data Bits.
To set this feature:
1. Determine the desired character or value.
2. Use the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the
hex equivalent for the desired character/value.
3. Go to page 25 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code
to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT NAK CHARACTER SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two alphanumeric ch
ar
acters from the keypad in
Appendix D, Keypad, that represent the desired character/value in step 1
above. The second character will cause a two-beep indication.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Program-
ming Mode.
See Table 27 for some examples of how to set this feature.
